Who's the author?

Hi, I'm Brogni.

I'm a software engineer focused on building distributed systems and serverless architectures.
I enjoy designing systems that are scalable, reliable, and simple to operate.

Most of my work revolves around:

• Serverless architectures
• Event-driven systems
• Cloud-native platforms
• System design and distributed systems
• Developer productivity and platform engineering

Why this blog exists

I created Practical Serverless to share real-world lessons from building and operating serverless systems.

There is a lot of theoretical content about serverless, but far less about what happens when those systems hit production: scaling problems, architecture trade-offs, observability challenges, and operational realities.

This blog focuses on the practical side of serverless engineering.

You can expect:

• Architecture breakdowns
• Production lessons and trade-offs
• Design patterns for serverless systems
• Event-driven architecture strategies
• Practical cloud engineering insights

Philosophy

I believe good engineering is about:

• Simplicity over complexity
• Understanding trade-offs
• Building systems that are easy to operate
• Learning from real production systems

Technology changes fast, but good engineering principles tend to last.

Outside of writing

When I'm not coding or writing about systems, you'll probably find me:

• Reading about distributed systems
• Exploring new cloud architecture patterns
• Improving developer workflows
• Watching football ⚽
